Just returned from Japan trip and used the Atmos card there for 8 days…. Had $20k in charges and received 60k in my Atmos account the next billing cycle. No brainer

I'm not clear whether a foreign transaction in a restaurant gets both the 3x bonus + the 3x dining bonus? If double-dipping a thing?

Even better!

I have lived abroad for 10+ years and I have yet to have a single card shut down (nor because of travel patterns nor because of other reasons). In some years I do not make a single physical purchase in the U.S. on certain cards. But I think it is wise to separate as much as possible between issuers your 1) credit cards 2) checking accounts 3) brokerage accounts.

One important nuance is that although many regions around the world impose interchange fee caps, those caps generally do not apply to U.S.-issued cards. (Fees still tend to be lower outside of the U.S., however.) It is entirely possible that 3x (or 3.3x) on foreign purchases will turn out to be an unsustainable perk because it does not align with the underlying unit economics of a foreign purchase. However, the same could be said of 5x on airline purchases (Platinum Card) or 4x on hotels (CSR). In general cards offer generous bonus categories and accept that, for certain customers, they may not recover the full costs of doing so. As someone living in Europe, I am certainly maximizing this very unique and rewarding bonus category.

Do not agree, here. When searching for international flights (via seats.aero followed by Alaska) I always find a lot of flights for booking through Alaska and, in addition, in most cases for less miles/points compared to other frequent flyer programs.

I have the card and have used it for foreign purchases but was caught up when I booked hotel nights and flights from Agoca, which I thought was a foreign purchase but was billed through a subsidiary in the U.S. so I didn't receive the bonus.
